1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Hey, Drake, just a thought on getting out there, uh stadium,

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady Knight the game action is just your thoughts

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: on on what you were able to accomplish.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, shout out to the fans

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 2: out It was a great turnout. I mean, that's you'll

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: feel like a real game atmosphere. You get the same

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: jaters rolling out there. Obviously a big celebration for for

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: number twelve. That's pretty cool statue they put out out there.

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: I was able to listen a little bit of his

10
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: speech that was pretty cool. So, uh, just yeah, I

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: honoring him and what he's done for his organizations. You'll

12
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: speak for itself, but for the fans, and I have

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: about that. They showed out and I think what the

14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: guys did tonight had everybody playing, playing hard, blocking, tackling,

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: running around and I think, you know, just kind of

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: full four quarters. I thought we kept playing and I

17
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: think we're kind of, you know, starting to you'll build

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: something that we're starting to build the identity, and that's

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: what coach is talking about. And I could through my

20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: part of technic football, so.

21
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: I knew you were very complimentary of Efton Chisholm over

22
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: the course of the spring is work he did during

23
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: the OTAs. I know you guys didn't have a chance

24
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: to connect tonight, but from the sideline, what did you

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: see from him and maybe his overall growth over the

26
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: course of.

27
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a baller. I mean, he loves coming up,

28
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: ask me questions about routes and and things. He loves

29
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: talking football. He's just a football player. And you saw tonight,

30
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: you know, making plays. I'm glad he got in the

31
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: end zone and then almost almost would have got the

32
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: end zone again on the screen we got he got

33
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 2: chased down. But uh yeah, I think just blocking hard,

34
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: doing all the right things. I think that kind of

35
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: is while we're preaching the offensive room, you know, you

36
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: do keep doing things the right way and keep showing up,

37
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: you know, get rewarded.

38
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 4: Hedrick over over here, just how disappointing was it to

39
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 4: start sort of with that fumble.

40
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, uh, you know, I was excited to

41
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: get out there and treveon taste it the one hundred yards.

42
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: It was pretty sweet. But uh yeah, he got a

43
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: little bit of drive going, you know, third down and

44
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: he just can't can't do that, you know, my first

45
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: time out, you know, just uh, you just put a dimper.

46
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm glad we responded well that next drive. But yeah,

47
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: same time, you you know, I'm glad something I can control,

48
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: you know, But at the end of the day, you

49
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: just can't play the defense in that position. You know,

50
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: when games you know matter, and and you know during

51
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: the season and you know, I told you know, those guys,

52
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: that's on me. We gotta get back out there, and

53
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: no cloud I was able to get there. You know,

54
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: another series going.

55
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 5: Hey Drake, imagine especially a quarterback, when the top priorities

56
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 5: in the preseason is avoiding a big contact and staying

57
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 5: in good condition. But when it comes to using your legs,

58
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: how much is the balance of well, I don't want

59
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 5: to take off run get too much contact versus well,

60
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 5: they're gonna give me all that green grass got take it.

61
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: I think you know when they play man or they're

62
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: you know, down in the red zone and sitting back

63
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: in zone and you know, playing too. I I gotta,

64
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: you know, play football, that's you know, my natural instinct.

65
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: You obviously wish you could have, you know, hit some

66
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: more passes, but at the same time that we run

67
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: the ball well all night, and there's an even balance

68
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: of you know, them accounting for me being able to

69
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: run a little bit, and I thought I got down

70
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: and on the first third down scramble and then in

71
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: the red zone, like I said, I'm to play all

72
00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: there and play football.

73
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: Drake, you mentioned it a little bit, but just take

74
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: us through your reaction to seeing Trevon Henderson on that

75
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: first play.

76
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 3: Just take it one hundred yards on that kickoff return.

77
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think it's different with the kickoff rule.

78
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: Now you think, you know, teams are gonna want to

79
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: you know, tackle and not get thirty five yard line,

80
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: so it's gonna be a chance for some returns. And

81
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: you know, man, it's like a lightning bolt. He was

82
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: I saw the crease and you know knew he was gone.

83
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: So uh, you know, pretty cool. The first time he

84
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: touched football, it's touchdown. And then you know, credit the

85
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: guys that that did the blocking up front. You know

86
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: that's you know, special teams and say all three phases.

87
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: I think spas teams got a chance to be big

88
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: force this here.

89
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: Hey, Drake, just going back to the end of the

90
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: first drive, plays like that where you're trying to extend,

91
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: do you feel like that's more just instinct, like you

92
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: were talking about reflex or is there kind of a

93
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: deliberate thought on that play of what you were trying

94
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: to do.

95
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it's instinct. So the first time I got

96
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: hit since she was back in the last week seventeen,

97
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: So you know, it's instinctive and we try to, you know,

98
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: my best and not get hit. But uh, I'm gonna

99
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: do my part of standing there and delivering those and

100
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: you know it's gonna happen. But yeah, I think it's

101
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: instinctive just playing football, and you know, obviously trying to

102
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: get the guy get the ball in the other guy's hands,

103
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: becuse they're better runners than I am. But you know,

104
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: just keeping defense. Honest.

105
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 5: In your first answer, you mentioned you know the optimism

106
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 5: we have with the group this year. Is it possibly

107
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 5: a sense for who and what this team is this

108
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 5: early and what's driving that optimism?

109
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you just you'll continue to work at

110
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: you know, every day every week. You'll learn from it,

111
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: learn from the tape. That's what the biggest thing I've

112
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 2: seen these guys. They want to get better. They're asking questions.

113
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: It's a lot of football talk around in the locker

114
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: room and I think that's something that you like seeing.

115
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: I think the oppism for me is, you know, these guys,

116
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: like I said in the previous moment, we want to win,

117
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: and uh it, it starts with the head coach. The

118
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: intensity you see the guys up front. You know it's

119
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: officially the first office line group. You know that was

120
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: with me. I was, you know, tossing and handing it

121
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 2: out off and just watching them kind of set the

122
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: tone early up front. That kind of gets me excited

123
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: and and gets me pumped up. You see, guys, you're

124
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: talking trash until until the whistle, and that's what you want.

125
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: That's what you want around the locker room. You want

126
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: those guys, And it's easy for me to get excited,

127
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: you know, playing with guys like that beside me.

128
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 4: Last question, hey, Drake, when when you think about Remandre

129
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: and Trayveon and Antonio the three backs there, how would

130
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: you sort of describe the way they compliment each other

131
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 4: from your view?

132
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's, uh, you know it tough on

133
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: the defense. They all can you know, make you miss,

134
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: they can run over you. They can you know, catch

135
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: balls out of the backfield. So it's gonna be you'll

136
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: challenge for us on you know, when to use them

137
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: and how to use them and you know, getting them

138
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: the ball. So you get those guys you know open space.

139
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: They're they're great football players. And you see two of

140
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: them kick off return. I don't know who they're gonna

141
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: kick it to. Both of them are pretty you know,

142
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: have big ones tonight. So you know, excited to have

143
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: them beside me. And I think the best thing out

144
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: they're smart. You know, they're good in pass pro they're good.

145
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: You know when you know running the fo ball, that's

146
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: you know, that's obvious, but uh, you know routes and

147
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: I think you know, pass for the willing the block,

148
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: and that's what you're something to look for in the quarterback.

149
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: You know, is he going up in the A gap

150
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: like man, I gotta go do this. You know those

151
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: guys are like, I'm protect the guy behind me. And

152
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: that's what like I said, you know, it's it's pretty

153
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: cool and fires me up. So thank you all
